Security Researcher, Cameron Camp, discusses seven ways in which malware threatens your virtual systems and the increasingly mission critical data and services that those systems handle. Given a thriving black market in stolen information, and the wide availability of the tools with which to acquire it, no virtual attack vector is likely to be neglected by the bad guys, from compromised executables in virtual server images to virtual networking connections between mobile end points. Drawing on the latest malware research, Camp looks at how malicious code is adapting, and may be adapted, to penetrate virtual systems.
